5 Best Cocktail Bars in Estes Park

“Wow! Ember is amazing. This was our 1st time visiting the new Ember since we used to come when it was the Dunraven. The ambiance is so nice. Very upgraded! Our server was Robert, an Estes Park local who was superb! Excellent service and we were pleasantly surprised the food was better! We got the Steak & Frites and Chicken fried chicken. Highly recommend.“

“Elkins has fantastic craft whiskey and vodka! Marina gave us an amazing experience during our tasting—she gave us personalized suggestions based off our preferences, did a great job describing the unique taste of each spirit, and had an easy-going and bubbly personality that left us wanting to stick around and try more. A great spot to try local whisky and vodka to take home!“

“My husband and I are from Texas and we planned our micro wedding without visiting Estes Park beforehand. The Barrel was the perfect location for our celebration before and after the ceremony! The space is perfect for smaller groups (we had roughly 30, so we didn't rent the whole venue) but they still made it feel like a private event. The communication before the big day could not have been better, and the staff were super accommodating and made the night so fun!“

“Connor the front desk host does an outstanding service, welcoming, trying to offer the best. He took care of us always smiling and very professionalway. Connor makes this place be a 5 stars. over all we give 5 stars.“

“The Wheel Bar is awesome! Bartenders are super cool. WE LOVE JESSIE, best baldtender ever (makes a FANTASTIC sangria, make sure to ask him for one) Hands down the best bar in Estes!“
